KEIL not getting enough biomedical waste while IMAGE has backlog: PCB

KEIL not getting enough biomedical waste while IMAGE has backlog: PCB

The Hindu
Sunday, January 2, 2022 7:31 PM GMT

Additional common refuse treatment facilities mooted for State

The Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility of Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Ltd. (KEIL) at Ambalamugal is operating below its capacity owing to the non-availability of biomedical waste, while the Palakkad facility of Indian Medical Association Goes Eco-friendly (IMAGE) is having a backlog of biomedical waste, according to a report by the Kerala State Pollution Control Board.

The finding was based on the data related to the average collection and disposal of biomedical waste by both the units between December 1 and December 9. The total capacity of the plant operated by KEIL is around 16 tonnes per day, while the corresponding capacity of IMAGE’s Palakkad plant is around 55.8 tonnes per day.

KEIL received only one tonne per day of COVID-related biomedical waste on a nine-day average basis, while the quantity of non-COVID biomedical waste was six tonnes. There was a gap of around nine tonnes in the quantity of waste disposed of daily in this period compared to the actual capacity of the plant.
